Former Liverpool midfielder Joe Cole says Steven Gerrard can be a big hit in management. Gerrard has started positively with Rangers in his first senior club job as the Scottish outfit sit top of the SPL table ahead of rivals Celtic. “I knew he’d be good at it. A lot of people were worried when he took the job,” Cole, who recently retired, said. “It’s such a massive job for your first one but I had no doubt in him. I think he’s a natural born leader. Playing and captaining Liverpool is as good an apprenticeship as you can have. When you become a manager all eyes are on you. But playing for Liverpool with the pressure that brings and having to carry the club for many years alongside a few other senior players means I’m not surprised he’s so well acquitted to management. Recently we’ve had so many great managers who haven’t been top players. But there have been great players who have become great managers. There are your Cruyffs and your Beckenbauers, guys like that. Sometimes a playing career is a currency that can get scoffed at a bit. Steven is showing he’s got all that knowledge from a great playing career and he’s taken that into management.” #lfc#ynwa#gerrard#stevengerrard#liverpool#liverpoolfc#weareliverpool#lfcfamily#anfield#thereds#premierleague#theredpost#rangers

Amidst what some were dubbing a defensive crisis, after injuries befell @trentarnold66 , @joegomez5 and Joël Matip, the figure of @nathaniel_clyne stepped up against @manchesterunited to remind the world of the true depth that Klopp has introduced to the squad. Clyne may have seemed, for some time, like a forgotten figure at Melwood, but were assured his workrate behind the scenes has been uncompromising. Despite unfortunate injuries to two of our pivotal defenders in Gomez and Alexander-Arnold, and one who was beginning to show true promise and form in Matip, Clyne will be looking to use this time as an opportunity to reestablish himself as a crucial first team squad member. We look forward to watching him work his heart out to try and bed in while he has the chance! Let us know what you think about Clyne's chances of forcing his way back into the starting XI fold over the coming period in the comments! 🔴⚽️🔥

- Trent Alexander-Arnold Injury Update: - The Liverpool right-back will not be available for Friday night’s trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers as he continues to recover from the knock he sustained against Napoli a week ago. But there is hope that Alexander-Arnold can return to contention for the Reds’ fixtures after Christmas, the manager revealed. “It actually looks surprisingly good,” said Klopp. “I think Wolves will still be a bit too early but after that, they told me we can think about him. “But for that, he needs to train. So far he didn’t train but the pain goes down second by second, which is good, and then in the moment when he can deal with it, he is on the pitch, and in the moment he is on the pitch we’ll make a decision. “But it looks good for Trent.”

Matt Le Tissier insists this season will not be a failure for Liverpool even if they fail to secure silverware. Jurgen Klopp is still awaiting his first trophy at the Reds after replacing Brendan Rodgers in 2015 but Le Tiss is impressed with the progress made at Anfield. Speaking on Sky Sports’ The Debate, the former Southampton man said: “I don’t get that criticism. If you look at the way the team is playing and what they are doing, is the manager improving the football club and the players? The answer to both of those questions is yes. “If they don’t win a trophy this season, they would be mad to get rid of the manager. There are not that many trophies to play for. When you look at what Manchester City have got and what they have spent, it will take some kind of monumental effort to stop that team winning the Premier League. Cup competitions are a possibility because anything can happen in one-off games. But I don’t think it would be a failure for Liverpool. As long as the club is moving forward and the players are improving, it would be mad to get rid of the manager.” _____________________ Agree with Le Tissier? #lfc#ynwa#klopp#letissier#liverpool#liverpoolfc#weareliverpool#lfcfamily#anfield#thereds#theredpost#premerleague

James Milner injury latest: - The vice-captain missed the Reds’ 3-1 win over Manchester United on Sunday after picking up a minor muscle issue during the previous fixture against Napoli at Anfield. However, Milner is set to resume full training at Melwood on Tuesday and is confident he’ll be available for selection for the trip to Molineux.🙏🏼🔴

@the_red_post - Roberto Firmino is confident Liverpool can maintain their flawless December form for the rest of a month the Brazilian considers 'decisive'. “December is always a special month in the Premier League,” he said. “There are a lot of games and it is often a decisive month in terms of the championship. This is a very important month for Liverpool. Of course it’s very difficult to stay unbeaten in this league. We’ll only do it with hard work. That’s what we’ve been doing until now, including going back right to the start when we came back for pre-season. We need to keep focused and fighting until the end to reach our goals and see where that gets us by the end of the season. This team has lofty ambitions and aims high. We are going for titles, we are a big club, we are always fighting for trophies. We’ll continue playing well, the way we are, and we’ll see where it gets us.” #lfc#ynwa#firmino#robertofirmino#liverpool#liverpoolfc#weareliverpool#lfcfamily#anfield#thereds#theredpost#premierleague

Crystal Palace are interested in signing Liverpool forward Dominic Solanke on loan in January. Roy Hodgson wants to add more firepower to his squad, who have scored just 14 goals in the Premier League this season, and could launch a move for the England Under-21. Rangers manager Steven Gerrard is also said to be interested in Solanke, who has not featured for Liverpool under Jurgen Klopp this season. Palace hope the way Ruben Loftus-Cheek developed during his loan at Selhurst Park last season will help convince the 21-year-old Solanke to move to London. Palace, who are three points above the bottom three after their 1-0 win against Leicester, have limited money to spend in January and the loan signing of Solanke is an attractive option. #lfc#ynwa#solanke#dominicsolanke#liverpool#liverpoolfc#weareliverpool#lfcfamily#anfield#thereds#premierleague#theredpost#crystalpalace#cpfc

@the_red_post - Jürgen Klopp insists he is more interested in the outstanding qualities Alisson Becker has added to Liverpool so far this season, rather than focusing on any individual mistake. The goalkeeper was left frustrated after he failed to keep hold of a Romelu Lukaku cross during Sunday’s victory over Manchester United, which enabled Jesse Lingard to net from the rebound and level up the scoreline at 1-1. And asked about it during his pre-Wolverhampton Wanderers press conference on Tuesday afternoon, Klopp offered a philosophical outlook as he explained why he prefers to concentrate on Alisson’s attributes that have helped Liverpool to the Premier League’s best defensive record so far. He said: “That goal was absolutely no problem. We had a Christmas party on Sunday night – he was good, I think - he looked good! Maybe that’s a good example; I knew it before that it will happen. He did so outstanding so far and now he’s made two mistakes since the start of the season – obvious mistakes where it is clear. He lost the ball against Leicester and then against United the ball dropped, everyone saw how it was – it was a delivered ball then the knee was in the wrong position, so then the ball goes back to Lingard. Things like this happen.“It is much more important to be there in all the other situations. Not in a spectacular way, just catch the balls you can catch. These kind of mistakes will always happen for all goalkeepers in the world. He has no problem with that and I have absolutely no problem with that. Even if it was a more decisive thing, things like this happen. It is not about the moment, it’s really about all the things – the good things – you can do. The good things you influence on in our game. That’s what we know, what we have seen, so it was absolutely no problem.” #lfc#ynwa#klopp#jurgenklopp#alisson#alissonbecker#liverpool#liverpoolfc#weareliverpool#lfcfamily#anfield#thereds#theredpost#premierleague

James Milner has confirmed he expects to return to action for Liverpool’s Premier League clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers on Friday night. The vice-captain missed the Reds’ 3-1 win over Manchester United on Sunday after picking up a minor muscle issue during the previous fixture against Napoli at Anfield. However, Milner is confident he’ll be available for selection for the trip to Molineux. He told: “I just had a bit of a sensation in my hamstring at the end of the Napoli game and made the decision, the manager made the decision to miss Sunday's game. It was the right thing not to risk me at the weekend, so hopefully I’ll be fine for the next game.” #lfc#ynwa#milner#jamesmilner#liverpool#liverpoolfc#weareliverpool#lfcfamily#lfcnews#anfield#thereds#premierleague#theredpost

#repost @the_red_post • • • • • Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp paid tribute to his sacked Manchester United rival Jose Mourinho, but said the last few months 'can't have been a joy for anybody' at Old Trafford. And when asked about United's decision to let their manager go, Klopp said:"He is a very competitive guy, very ambitious. He has all my respect, has been unbelievably successful. The last few months I can imagine were not a joy, for anybody. Nobody can take away all the things he has won. I wish he has that in his mind when he leaves, not what has happened in the last few months. He is an outstanding manager. He is the only person who can say what has happened." #lfc#ynwa#klopp#jurgenklopp#mourinho#liverpool#liverpoolfc#weareliverpool#lfcfamily#anfield#thereds#theredpost#premerleague

#repost @the_red_post • • • • • Andy Robertson believes Liverpool have got the strength in depth required to maintain their thrilling pursuit of a first title for 29 years. The Scotland left-back admits that confidence is sky-high after Sunday's 3-1 victory over Manchester United put the Reds a point clear of Premier League champions Manchester City. Jurgen Klopp's unbeaten side are enjoying the best start to a top-flight season in the club's history having dropped just six points so far this term. There is a long way to go and we still have to play big games, starting on Friday night and we hopefully move on from there. It has been a huge few weeks. People maybe looked at the fixtures and thought ‘Everton, it’s a derby, always tough, Bournemouth, always tough, Napoli was a must-win and Man United speaks for itself’. We have come out unscathed but we can’t just rest on that and take our eye off the ball. We need to stay focused 100% and look forward to the challenge at Wolves who have done well this season. We'll rest and get ready for another big one.” “You look at the bench and there is probably a few people disappointed not to start and rightly so,” Robertson said. “We have all got positions to fight for and that is the beauty of having a good squad. Shaq comes on and shows everyone what he can do and scores the two goals and he will take the headlines. Hendo came on and shored up the midfield, won every tackle, and never lost a header against Fellaini, which is always tough. These guys were disappointed not to play before kick off but they come on and make such a difference for us. It was a real all-round performance.” #lfc#ynwa#andyrobertson#robertson#alisson#liverpool#liverpoolfc#weareliverpool#lfcfamily#anfield#thereds#theredpost#premierleague

#repost @the_red_post • • • • • In reflecting on Nathaniel Clyne’s performance against Manchester United on Sunday, the defender’s 100th game for the club, Klopp instead mimed taking his hat off. “Clyney is a high-class player,” Klopp had explained when it was confirmed Clyne would start against MU. “He didn’t play for a while, that’s true, he was injured and we had other options in the position. That’s how life sometimes is, it’s not really fair but it was the situation. But he trained most of the time without any complaints. In the last two to two-and-a-half weeks he had a couple of problems, but he’s available now. He’s fine.” The No.2 also recorded the most accurate passing in the United half for the Reds – 92 per cent. Klopp did find the words to describe the performance: “Nathaniel Clyne… mid-December, first [league] game of the season after an injury and a difficult period, not playing even if you are fit. What a game.” #lfc#ynwa#klopp#clyne#nathanielclyne#liverpool#liverpoolfc#weareliverpool#lfcfamily#anfield#thereds#theredpost#premerleague#livmun

#repost @the_red_post • • • • • Andy Robertson insists he and his Liverpool teammates can't moan about Alisson Becker's error against Manchester United because they owe their place in the Champions League last 16 to him. "He has been unbelievable this season and we all make mistakes," the Scot said. "It is just if Mo Salah or Firmino make a mistake it maybe doesn’t get punished because it is up the other end, but that is unfortunately what a keeper has to put up with, if they make a mistake it usually turns into a goal. Of course, he will be disappointed with it but he bounced back and we can’t moan about it, he has dug us out Tuesday night and we are still in the Champions League because of him. We have not dug him out of a hole but we have put in a performance and his error hasn’t been highlighted because we have won the game and that is what a good squad does." #lfc#ynwa#andyrobertson#robertson#alisson#liverpool#liverpoolfc#weareliverpool#lfcfamily#anfield#thereds#theredpost
